Disgusting - police ramming cow

[Lower]

Sounds easy until you are the 1 having to do it.

Doubt they carry rope or lassoo s in police cars

Quite. Police are not vets, cow specialists or farmers. Imagine the media response if the cow had injured a person because the police didn't do anything because of concerns over what the bleeding heart liberals might say.

They apparently had several hours, during which time this calf was on the loose, in which to source such a rope. Any passing lorry, any breakdown company, in fact many drivers will have such a rope. Even I have a rope in my car, and an even better one - 30mm, 40m long in my garage.

A lone calf, or cow, will only injure if spooked, they do not deliberately attack.

The police exacerbated the situation by having all their lights on, flashing blues etc. They could have closed the area and created a quiet space to help calm the little calf, instead of having idiots running around as if it was a joke. It wasn't a raging bull, it was a calf. Calf = baby cow.
When I watch the clip, I just see idiots.

We were walking on a footpath through a local country estate, two guys were trying to round up some young cattle, I said to Mrs CB these two don't look like they know what they are doing so we waited on the other side of the cattle grid watching them running around flapping their arms about agitating the beasts, two broke away and came running towards us at full pelt, they both jumped the cattle grid and ran off down the track. The idiots shouted "stop them" at us, not a chance matey

Exactly.

If you don't know what you are doing who knows what the result would be

The police were damned for what they did(probably fairly) but would have been damned worse if inaction had caused bigger issues.

You cannot expect them to be experts on every situation.

Who owned the calf? Where were they?

Having been on the loose for several hours in an unfamiliar urban environment with people trying to round it up, i think you can assume it was well spooked by then.

A calf is hardly a bully XL is it...

And yet plod usually manages to corner one of those killer dogs after it has severely injured/killed a person and they then try to work out what to do with it rather than just ram it

 

[ellal]

Apparently cows are the most dangerous animals in the country

On average 40 people a year are killed by cows

In the UK the average per year over the last decade is actually 4...

And only a quarter were not farm workers...

Typical scaremongering!

In contrast, there were 16 people killed in the UK by dogs, and 30,000 injuries!

Do you mean only in the UK? Where do you get that figure from? It's nothing like that in the UK.

Heard it on the radio 4 news some weeks ago
Afaik it’s mostly (?) farmers ?? Who get crushed or trampled

No just check your BS facts.

Who mentioned it?

You have a link?

You just added a zero to make up your BS post!

Linky Linky

"Between 2015-16 and 2019-2020 the HSE investigated 142 incidents. Only 22 of them resulted in a death and the majority related to people who worked with cattle"

"Members of the public accounted for only four of those deaths, the HSE confirmed"

I guess the hard of hearing can easily confuse 4 with 40
